TMZ on TV - 10/13/26

Today on TMZ. OK, gotta say, RJ Mitte's suicide just rocked Hollywood. And the one person everybody wanted to hear from is Bryan Cranston. He is devastated. He says that he remembers meeting this 14-year-old kid who had never acted before and how he watched him become this great actor. And says that they actually texted a few weeks ago to plan lunch. And he ended it like, I miss you, my son. It was so sad. It was heartbreaking. Haley Steinfeld was finally captured by cameras during the Bills game. Unlike Taylor Swift, Haley is never seen. She was cheering, jumping around. She looks like a real fan. Hold on a second. Taylor's a real fan. Haley looks like she knows what she's doing. She looked just like she knows what she's doing as much as Taylor does. Guys, stop pitting women against women. Oh, yeah. Harvey! Keri Russell says on the set of The Americans, her and her partner, Matthew Rhys, were having sex all the time. She also brought up during his acceptance speech, didn't thank her apparently she gave him permission to not thank her you still have to do it though it's like when guys go to McDonald's they're like oh do you want anything you're like no i'm good and then they come home and there's no fries for you we have such different lives he tells me he's going to McDonald's i have a list Kylie Jenner has sparked a parenting debate Stormy has been talking about she really wants to straighten her hair i'm kind of not into the idea if the kid wants to straighten her hair let her straighten her hair we're in the world of embracing natural beauty. Kids are supposed to like their hair. I had an afro when I was in my 20s. It's called a jufro. No, I got an afro. I went into the salon and said, I want an afro. Heartbreaking news that Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte took his own life at the age of 34, which has left his fans and his former co-stars absolutely devastated, including his on-screen dad, Brian Cranston, who expressed his emotions in a very raw post. Brian Cranston says he is in deep despair following the death of his TV son, R.J. Mitte. He says that he remembers meeting this 14-year-old kid who had never acted before as a green actor. And he was so good. That's what he says. I've watched him be so determined and become this great actor. You may not love him anymore, but I do. And as viewers watched Mitte grow up on the show, Cranston watched firsthand as he grew up off-camera as well. It says that he never let his cerebral palsy hold him back at all, and then was just so in awe of what an advocate he became for actors with disabilities. And he ended it like, I miss you, my son. And RJ's co-star Luis Moncado, who took RJ on a hot air balloon ride just last week to cheer him up, came on TMZ Live to discuss how his friend was that day. He seemed really tired and sad. He was being pulled in all kinds of directions. But after the ride, Luis wanted RJ to know he was there for him. And so I made him promise to call me, and I never got a call. And though RJ was clearly showing signs of distress lately, it seemed to many that everything was going well on the outside. He just got engaged last year, and he had so many upcoming projects that he was doing. It sounded like he had future plans. It's really hard to determine what's going on in somebody's head. So RIP RJ, you may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten. RJ is just the sweetest person I've ever met in my life. Kristi Noem has met her match when it comes to internet trolls.

You do it with Gen Zs, but every time somebody screams at somebody, they go to their psychiatrist. Yeah. Well, no, if you get yelled at, like, they go home. They have to, like, take a day. They have a mental health day. Honestly. They use the PTO. You're like, why are you taking a vacation day? Oh, I just need it. You need what?

Hailee Steinfeld loves her some football. And she cheers as hard as that other lady what's her face Hailee Steinfeld was finally captured by the Monday Night Football cameras during the Bills and Rams game last night at SoFi Stadium. Yes, Hailey was there to cheer on her husband, Bills QB, Josh Allen. And in the past, she's been a little camera shy. Unlike Taylor Swift. That was not the case last night. She was seen multiple times. She was seen cheering. She was seen jumping around. She was yelling. He looks like a real fan. Exactly. Are you kidding me? I am no Swiftie, but you cannot say that she's not a real fan. I never said Taylor Swift. You were insinuating it. Nice save, Jeppe. But who's Hailey's blonde buddy in the back there? Because she's giving a bit of a Taylor Swift vibe. The blonde woman standing next to Hailey knows the camera is on her. You can tell. She knows. Hailey doesn't care. That's the difference. Viva la difference. Not sure why he morphed into Louis XIV at the end there, but we take his point. But maybe Hailey knows exactly what she's doing. Well, I think after Taylor, people don't want to become the next Taylor. No, she's an actress. She's not trying to be the next Taylor. Do you know what most of the country said when they showed Hailee Steinfeld last night? Who's Hailee Steinfeld? No. That's not true. No. That's not true. Oh, God, for God's sake. You are so out of touch. That is so wrong. She's a huge actress. I'm pointing out the ridiculousness of putting her on the same plane as Taylor Swift. Hey, guys, guys, stop pitting women against women. Oh, yeah. Oh. Hi, Renee. Thy name is Levin. Hope you enjoyed the game, Hailee Steinfeld. Kylie Jenner did a new YouTube video. She's making Halloween cookies with her daughter, Stormy. And Kylie reveals that Stormy wants to straighten her hair. Stormy has been talking about she really wants to straighten her hair. And I'm kind of not into the idea, but I said for Halloween. And my birthday. You said for Halloween and my birthday. OK, if the kid wants to straighten her hair, let her straighten her hair. No, it's because she has a different texture of hair. She's a mixed girl. Her dad is black. I know that. So when you straighten hair and you can get heat damage. I had an afro when I was in my 20s. And it just went away. It's called a jufro. It's not an afro. I went into the salon and said, I want an afro. Did you say it like that or did you say, what's happening? Coming up.

They gave him like a full beard. Why would you cover up his beautiful face? Oh, I'm mad. Then be the one person who isn't going to see this movie because everyone else will. Not just for hotties, but it's set in the 80s. And who doesn't want to relive the 80s in all its glory? The 80s was so nondescript to me. Non-descript? What is the 80s? Are you kidding? The 80s were so much fun! Madonna! Cabbage Patch Kids! Iran Contra! No, it's our current decade that truly sucks. This decade is kind of like, eh. It ended in 2016. What was so great in 2016? Oh my gosh, the dubstep, the Skrillex, Calvin Harris, and now we have Somber. Somber's depressing. Yeah, crying is in, apparently. So you're totally good crying over Austin Butler. He looks like perfection, wearing the like white suit and like the pastel shirt. Oh, your cast master's his shirt. Awww. Bet you're glad your other hand works, eh pal?

There were multiple people in the room and says she was laying on the bed talking, says she sat up, was very coherent. He told everyone, get out of the room.

I mean, it was insanity. It was so fun and sneaky and sexy and so good. That's funny. Who would have thought that he would be the biggest star now? He's massive. And yeah, they have a kid together now. And she also brought up the fact that during his acceptance speech, he didn't thank her. And a lot of people were like, why didn't you thank her? Apparently she gave him permission to not thank her on the way in. Because he was, he was really stressed apparently about like his speeches because he was kind of a shoe-in, that is a trap if I ever heard one. I find that weird. It's like when guys go to McDonald's. They're like, oh, do you want anything? You're like, no, I'm good. And then they come home and there's no fries for you Insanity coming up I have to say sorry to you this morning because I've always I've always talked mad crap about the Beatles, and I listened to Paul McCartney on Amy Poehler's podcast, and he's the coolest dude ever.

They were talking about the Beatles, and he was talking about how everybody in the Beatles was like a year and a half apart. We were all the same height. I know. But in all of these Hollywood movies, they make John taller, and he gets so mad. My character is kind of wimpy, smaller than John. In the movie directed by Sam Mendes, he called him before they started and was like, look, do not make John taller. He sent me a picture, a still from the filming they were doing. The Paul character is markedly smaller. Oh, that's so funny. He is just so funny, like, telling the story, because you can tell, like, it legit bugs him. There was our little Poe, you know. Oh. John, the great big hero. It's like, no. I'm so jealous of Amy Poehler. Why don't you inspire? Maybe they'll let you. He'll never go there. Let's get him for TMZ After Dark. Yeah. Oh, God.

She is playing the lap guitar thing she's really good at, and her daughter comes up behind her And it scares the pants off of her. And be prepared to be. When people wear these masks, I would be scared like if I had a store and somebody walks in because you think it's Halloween and then it turns out not. Well, that's why a lot of places say no masks. At school, you're not allowed to wear one anymore. Oh, is that right? You can wear it at our kids' school, so I think it's up to the school. But like a screen mask? Yeah, for Halloween? Yeah. What's the best, I guess the best Halloween candy are Snickers bars, right? The top two for this year are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and M&M's. Harvey, have you had trick-or-treaters come by your house? Yeah. You said you don't. You said you turn the lights off. No, the few kids that come by, we load them up.
